This is amazing. I wish there was more incentive for the general public to support these efforts. I mean, the most obvious incentive is our health (mental and physical and spiritual) and also the environment, but most people seem to not care. Or, it is again about short-term gain. Supermarkets with their lobbying/subsidising and so on can sell things for so cheap and people probably too tired from working all day, will rather buy some inferior product as comfort over buying something more expensive and lasting. I have always wanted to open a sourdough bakery, and I have received so much good feedback from customers, telling me it is the best bread they have tasted. Yet, trying to open a bakery, and justify it, I needed to sell a staggering amount of product just to pay my rent of a premises. Big companies/corps as you know can carry these costs, while someone like me trying to start something from scratch cannot.
Sorry for the long-winded comment, I hope it makes sense! I hope your sourdough baking is also back on schedule. Keep well.
